I decided to join the Viquest center here in Greenville.  I've been a member there before and really like all the variety of activities they offer but especially the fact that they focus on health issues.  I went this morning to sign up and get everything started whi*****luded a mini health assessment.  I was completely blown away with the blood work results.  ALL MY CHOLESTEROL #S WERE WELL WITHIN NORMAL RANGE!  My total cholesterol was 162 and my triglycerides were 132.  My LDL was 92 and HDL  was at 43.  I want to get the HDL higher and the exercise will help.  I can't remember my cholesterol #s  being this good EVER!  AND, I'm only 1.9 BMI points from being NORMAL!  My blood pressure was great and my blood sugar was great even though I had just finished a cup of milk.  I AM SO PLEASED WITH MYSELF TODAY!  As most of us go into this WLS journey to get healthier, it is just wonderful to actually see the results in black and white! 

Hope everyone has as great a day as I am having!

Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

Congrats Alice,

That definitely is good news!  Those numbers are even more rewarding than any number you could see on a scale.  Enjoy your time at Viquest!
